SOC 2 Readiness Assessment
This free assessment shows how prepared your organization is for a SOC 2 examination. It asks 30 practical questions about how security actually operates in your business, then returns a readiness score, your weakest categories, and the specific gaps worth closing first. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes and no preparation is required.
What the assessment covers
- Scope and governance: system boundary, Trust Services Criteria selection, ownership, and management review.
- Access and identity: multi-factor authentication, privileged access, joiner-mover-leaver processes, and access reviews.
- Security operations: monitoring, logging, vulnerability management, and endpoint protection.
- Secure change: development workflow, code review, testing, and deployment approvals.
- Vendors and third parties: inventory, due diligence, contracts, and recurring review.
- Incidents and continuity: response procedures, communication, backup, and recovery testing.
- Evidence and documentation: policies, artifacts, retention, and examination readiness.
What you receive
A private report with your overall readiness score and band, a breakdown by category, your highest-priority gaps, reported strengths, a 30-day action plan, a 31-to-90-day roadmap, and an evidence checklist you can work from. The report is delivered to your email and stays available for 30 days.
Common questions
Is this a SOC 2 audit?
No. This is educational guidance based on your self-reported answers. A SOC 2 examination is performed by an independent CPA firm. This assessment helps you understand where you stand before that engagement begins.
Does completing this make my company SOC 2 certified?
No. SOC 2 is an attestation reporting framework, not a certification program. Smart Biz iT supports readiness, implementation, and operations. Independent authorized firms perform examinations and issue reports.
Who should take it?
Founders, engineering leaders, and operations leaders at SaaS and B2B software companies, typically between 5 and 40 employees, who have been asked for SOC 2 by a customer or investor and have no dedicated internal security team.
Results are educational guidance based on self-reported information. They are not an audit, certification, attestation, legal advice, or a determination of compliance.
